I’ve just been reading an article on what makes the best sports teams...

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-26/what-makes-a-great-sports-team-sam-walker/12454814

Then I looked at the book the article was written about

https://www.amazon.com.au/Captain-C...lass&qid=1595742332&sr=8-1&tag=googlestdau-22

Think I’ll buy the book
I nicked this off the Sunderland board
Fascinating. The lad on there likened this to Roy Keane at Man U
I know the Steelers team mentioned had jack lambert as their captain and he was fearsome. Keeping the team back for hours if they lost
Sure could do with a great captain now. Ash fits the mould as does Brian Horton.

A sense of pride in seeing it become greater than the sum of its parts.

The level is largely irrelevant, but the sense of togetherness, fight, hope, optimism and relative achievement, no matter how modest and however humble the beginnings is absolutely everything.

To me anyway.

Good disciplined players, some who are leaders with experience and character, a sprinkling of stardust, everyone including all off the field pulling in the same direction, a half decent proven coach who's tactically astute and flexible.......oh bollocks, we've got none (well may be very little) of that!
